Storytelling in interior design!

Alhad Gore of Beyond
Design Architects takes to the art of storytelling with this cutting-edge interior
design for technology services provider - Globant.

Designing for a company
that provides break-through customer experiences can be a challenge and one
that Beyond Design Architects were quick to respond to with their interactive
interiors for Globant’s colossal 75000 sq. ft. office space in Pune, India.

boxed spaces

Sensitive to the collaborative
processes of working, whilst preserving privacy and the crucial independent
role-play of the employees, the largely open-plan work spaces are contrived as individual
pockets of narration.

So the 40,000 sq. ft.
each of the two-level program houses 600 numbers of 1200 workstations
in a broad classification of four quadrants – each quadrant with a distinctive
set of meeting rooms, collaborative spaces, phone booths and designated fire
exits that are iterative of an environment of camaraderie and interactivity.

meeting rooms

Geometry plays the field
here as no one space is similar to the next: whilst the lounge-like
reception is elliptical, meeting rooms come in box or bean-shaped avatars; with
the principle of dissimilarity extending to the division of spaces and
furniture as well.

Added to this, a few
elements are handled exceptionally, viz. the ceiling: touted by the architect as
the ‘no-ceiling’ concept, has a pipe rail as a deconstructivist element, becoming
the path-guiding tool and doubling up to hang swings, acoustical panels, bus
handles, space dividers… The ‘learning tree’ scenario, where an FRP tree is acclimatized
with acoustical panels and light fittings complete with acrylic origami birds
hanging from the ceiling, for the ideal ideating hub; the ingeniously designed writable areas on existing
columns clad with writable film or even meeting room surfaces finished with
black painted glass; the challenge of acoustical phone booths ideal for one-two
members equipped with technological paraphernalia and adequate air-flow complete,
and the like… keep the environment dynamic and constantly evolving.

HR enclosure

But the idea that walks
away with the laurels in this new-age working environment is the positioning of
the HR department with its individualistic interview rooms – right in the
centre of the office, giving the aspiring employee a whiff of the cultural
ethos of the organisation.

With colour and form as
the mainstay of this artistic conglomeration, the architect blurs the
boundaries between physicality and emotional response.
